SMUGDESK IEEE 1394 FireWire 400 6Pin to 6Pin Cable 1.8M Black
Connects FireWire 400 6-pin devices at 400 Mbps over 1.8 metres for camcorders, drives and audio gear
- IEEE 1394 FireWire 400 standard delivers 400Mbps data transfer for legacy devices
- 8 metre cable length connects camcorders, hard drives and audio interfaces to host ports
- 6-pin to 6-pin male connectors carry both data and bus power for compatible peripherals
- Durable black jacket protects internal conductors from daily wear and frequent insertion cycles
- Plug-and-play operation requires no driver installation on supported desktop and notebook systems
IEEE 1394 FireWire 400 6Pin Cable
This 1.8 metre black IEEE 1394 cable links two 6‑pin FireWire 400 ports at 400 Mbps. It suits video capture, audio recording and file backup with legacy camcorders, external hard drives and audio interfaces. No driver is required on supported desktop or notebook systems. The durable outer jacket protects internal wires from daily wear.
Suits FireWire 400 6‑pin devices only
Buyers with FireWire 800 9‑pin ports cannot use this cable. Users who need a 4‑pin connector or longer reach must choose a different lead. It is intended for passive data and power transfer on iLink‑compatible hardware.
6‑pin to 6‑pin FireWire 400 interface
The single deciding specification is the 6‑pin IEEE 1394 FireWire 400 connection on both ends. Verify that your peripheral and host both present a 6‑pin 400 Mbps port before ordering.

Questions about this item
Does the 6-pin IEEE 1394 connector carry enough bus power for a portable hard drive during long capture sessions?
The 6-pin FireWire 400 interface supplies bus power to compatible peripherals, so a portable drive that draws within the IEEE 1394 spec will stay powered without an external adapter.
What port must my computer already have for this 1.8 m cable to work?
Your desktop or laptop needs a 6-pin IEEE 1394 FireWire 400 port; the cable will not fit 9-pin FireWire 800 sockets.
Will this 400 Mbps cable slow down an older DV camcorder that only supports the original IEEE 1394 rate?
The cable runs at the standard 400 Mbps FireWire 400 speed, matching the camcorder's native interface so video capture proceeds at the device's maximum rate.
